Geshem (גשם), a
Hebrew word for "
rain," applied mostly to the rains which occur in Israel over the course of the fall and winter.
This half of the year is called in the
Mishnah"yemot ha-geshamin" (Hebrew: ימות הגשמין, days of rains).
By extension, the word Geshem refers to the
piyyutim for rain recited at the
Musaf service of
Shemini Atzeret marking the beginning of the rainy season in
Israel.
